In this timeline, the Trucial States expanded further more after WW1 by occupy and later control the Ottoman lands in the Persian Gulf. During the last years of British control in the area, the proposal to create a federation of the British territories of the Trucial States, Qatar, Bahrain, Al-Hasa and Kuwait. In 1972, the United Arab Emirates declare their independence from Britain under a united federation of all the emirates of the Trucial States. The United Arab Emirates becomes one of the most oil rich countries on earth and one of the richest in the Middle East. In 1990, Iraq attacked the UAE with the objective to control the UAE's oil reserve due to the debt accumulated by the Iraq-Iran war, the war that at the beginning was to only take the region of Kuwait, quickly escalated to a full-blown anti Iraqi coalition that ended in a decisively victory for the UAE. In the current year of 2026, the United Arab Emirates continue to grow as one of the richest countries in the world with plan to diversify its economy from oil to more renewable energies and expand its influences in the region, seeking to become the Venice of the 21st Century Middle East.

The Quality of Life Index (short form: Qoli, "kwol-ee") is an international metric of living standards. Variables used in calculating a nation's Qoli score include life expectancy, access to education, general happiness and a country's annual national income.

no lore, no nothing just a map in my (should be native) language.

HD versions of these images are posted in this shared drive here.

This is probably my first politics-related post here (I did post a fictional subway map before though). I had initially not posted this to this subreddit, due to concerns that this may not necessarily meet the criteria of being a map. However given the post itself was fundamentally designed to be focused on the election map (with most effort being given to it), I decided to give it a go. I did not alter the order of the pages to retain the chronological flow.

The HD maps are located on pages 10 and 11.

I also fixed some issues that were spotted in the original post.

As someone who has always been interested in Australian politics, I have always thought: what if Hong Kong, my home town, had something similar? This post represents my take on what could have happened, if Hong Kong was much luckier (and of course all the local events by some miracle coincide that of Australia).

Through the creation of this post I had always spent time reflecting on the crises we have seen in real life. The Wang Fuk Court fire in particular had given me profound anger and sorrow, over both its handling and the fact that this was allowed to happen in the first place.

I must thank r/Hajime_T for his help over the past several days, particularly with the creation of portraits and lore. Without him this post would not be possible.

After two weeks of diving head-first into Photopea and cartographic design, I’ve completed the first continent for my world-building project: Aroscia. This map represents the first finished chapter of a four-continent world. Aroscia is set in a transitionary era (medieval roots with early 1900s industrial vibes). There is no magic here. The world is defined by its harsh geopolitics, industrial expansion, and unique fauna like the Elemoths (elephant-mammoth hybrids) and the Sujaren (edible miniature whales).

I’ve focused heavily on making the geography and biomes dictate the history.

Gallery Includes:

1. The Final Finished Map (Atlas Style)
2. Biome Breakdown
3. The original MS Paint and hand-drawn concepts for the process-obsessed!

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the geographic realism and layout as I move on to Continent #2!

Full lore will be posted in the comment section for those interested :)

Galatians are always dangered by their neighbours.They endured Romans and revolted against Byzantines,founding their country in 758.
